''Erythrina abyssinica'' is a tree species of the genus Erythrina belonging to the plant family of the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1825. This leguminous tree species is native to East Africa and Eastern DRC. ==History== The description of ''E. abyssinica'' has been complicated, because the first specimen of Erythrina from Ethiopia (Abyssinia) brought to Europe was actually a mix of the two species. The flowers and leaves belonged to ''E. brucei'' Schweinfurth (1868) and the pod and seeds to ''E. abyssinica'' Lam. ex DC (1825). In addition, the first three descriptions were invalid, i.e. not published correctly to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (syn. ''E. kuara'' James Bruce (1790), ''E. abyssinica'' Lam.〔Lamarck, J.B. (1786) Encyclopédie Méthodique (Lamarck) 2(1): 392.〕 (1786) and ''E. tomentosa'' Robert Brown (1814)). Furthermore, the species is variable with individuals with glabrous and hairy (tomentose) leaves which were described separately and after revision resulted in additional synonyms (syn. ''E. tomentosa'' R. Brown ex A. Rich. (1847)). The number of synonyms increased when a new genus was described from South Africa (Chirocalyx Meisn.), which later was considered synonymous with Erythrina (''Ch. tomentosa'' Hochstetter and ''Ch. abyssinica'' Hochstetter). Finally, ''E. abyssinica'' was considered for some time the juvenile stage of ''E. brucei'' and hence synonymous with the latter species. The issue was settled in 1962 when the pods and seeds from ''E. brucei'' were collected which were different from those of ''E. abyssinica''. Consecutively, the seeds planted revealed that seedlings and saplings of ''E. brucei'' did not resemble those of ''E. abyssinica''.〔
